Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Turning 18

Our son became an adult today.  We're so grateful for the years we were given to raise our son, and pray he'll never stray too far from family, his faith, and his dreams.

I'm not sure what items he actually purchased, but he talked about getting a lottery ticket, tattoo, cigarettes, cigars, dip, etc.  I mentioned that along those lines, he is also now responsible for his own health and medical/dental appointments.  Additionally, if he wants to stay on our insurance as a full-time student, and he decides to use tobacco, he will have to pay the tobacco premium difference.  

In celebration of this milestone, he wanted Indian food for dinner.



Afterwards, I made his favorite chocolate cake (thanks for the help Grandma!) and he opened gifts of money, box of chocolates, tether ball, sunglasses, a 4x4 sticker for his truck, and an apple tree.  



Thanks for all the calls and birthday wishes!
